DNA polymerase in complex with DNA. Computer model showing a molecule of DNA polymerase beta (POLB, grey spirals) filling the single nucleotide gaps of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand (coloured, centre), in the base excision repair (BER) pathway of mammalian cells. POLB catalyses the BER pathway, which is required for DNA maintenance, replication, recombination, and drug resistance.
